Many of my Healthy chocolate blog articles have focused on the link between vascular health and antioxidant levels. Two of the most potent antioxidants are epicatechins and catechins.
Today's article explores the link between antioxidants in chocolate and peak brain function. As it turns out, antioxidants improve brain function precisely because they

If your children are like so many, they love sweets. It seems like it takes a few years for children to appreciate flavors more sophisticated than Hubba Bubba and Fruity Pebbles. If kids were in charge of the grocery list, we would eat popsicles for breakfast and gummy bears for dinner.
If you are trying to wean kids (or yourself) off sugar, I suggest you

I love the taste of the Xocai ProteinMeal Shake. I really do. I have one or two every day. Sometimes I like to mix things up a bit and try new flavors. I use the Xocai weight loss shake as a base for making healthy high-antioxidant diet smoothies. You can download additional Xocai ProteinMeal recipes from the MXI Chocolate website.
Here are some of

It is generally acknowledged that the Mayans had the most advanced civilization on the American continent before the Spanish Conquest. They excelled in a number of areas including engineering, mathematics, architecture, and agriculture.

Folks in Santa Cruz may only think about fiber when they are feeling constipated. Keeping you regular is one of the benefits of a high-fiber diet, but not the only one.
Fiber is important for heart health. People who eat a high-fiber diet are less likely to have high cholesterol levels. Numerous studies have shown the link between fiber and LDL levels. Check

Hi, its Jenny D'Angelo again. Today's featured healthy chocolate product is Xocai XoBiotic Squares which contain valuable Probiotics.
'Biotic' means 'life'. (It has the same 'bio' root such as 'biology' and 'biography'.) Probiotic, therefore, means 'pro-life'. Probiotics are living microorganisms that maintain and improve health. Xocai has rediscovered

Santa Cruz health supplement advertisements are full of outrageous claims. How many health products are actually 'breakthroughs' or 'miracles' ? If every diet pill, energy supplement and anti-aging formula sold in Santa Cruz worked as promised, most of our health problems would magically disappear. Everyone would be thin, healthy and perpetually 18

It's the time of year when many people in Santa Cruz want to curl up with a steamy mug of hot cocoa. But do savvy Santa Cruz chocolate lovers want to sip a mega-calorie concoction of high cholesterol saturated fats mixed with cavity causing sugars?
It doesn't sound quite as appealing when you tell the truth about the conventional hot chocolate sold in Santa

Eventually, it happens to every Santa Cruz man or woman who has taken a haphazard approach to diet and exercise. The Health Reckoning. The Big Wake-up Call. Harsh Reality.
Call it what you may, but eventually we all realize that we have to live a healthy lifestyle to feel good, look good, and stay active.
For many Santa Cruz folks, that means improving diet

The Kuna Indians of Panama live both on the mainland and on a chain of islands in the Caribbean. The Kuna who live on the islands have retained their traditional culture which includes a diet rich in unprocessed cacao.
Most island-dwelling Kuna drink several cups of cocoa a day. Unlike people in developed nations, as the Kunas age, they don't experience a

Most people in Santa Cruz understand the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids, but many are not aware of the need for a balance of Omega-3s and Omega-6s. Unlike Omega-3, there are a multitude of Omega-6 sources. In fact, most cookies, candy, snacks and crackers contain soybean oil, which is very rich in Omega-6. "Most North Americans and Europeans now get far

I'm very happy to report that the Cafe Campesino kiosk on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz has been allowed to stay! There had been some doubt, but the cafe's customers signed a petition in droves. I suspect that helped the city decide in favor of Dina Torres, the owner. Hooray! ¡Ándale! Go and get your nourishing, affordable and absolutely scrumptious
